The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas. I'm usually not a big fan of 19th century literature, but it was a solid read, the whole way through. My only qualm is that by 3/4ths through the book, Dumas kills off who I percieved as the major villain, and the rest feels like too much wrapping up of loose ends instead of interesting narrative. Granted, the book is a solid 1200 pages, but it was like enjoying a mini-series that took me two months to work through. Next up? Sexing the Cherry by Jeanette Winterson
